Just "did the deal". Ordered my G-70 from Don Mason's contact. Don will check it out and load the new operating system for me before it's shipped (what a friend!).

The information here was invaluable in making a switch from Solton/Ketron after many, many years. I'll get a Midjay next week to keep that Ketron sound available and look at the new Audya after it has been "field tested".

My set-up, then, for my main house job will be a an XB-2 on the bottom, through a Motion Sound top rotor box, the G-70 in the middle and my new SH 201 (got from George yesterday)
on the top. On my right hand (90 degree-old school) will be the GW-7 that arrived from George yesterday for pianos, vibes, etc.

Thanks to everyone who added experience and advice to make the decision easier.

I'll order a bag and 7 note foot pedal from George tonite (checked with him and he no longer carries the G-70).

And major thanks to Don...I owe you big-time buddy!

Now, off to the gym so I can lug the thing around (my old MS-60's are 40 lbs, plus, so
what's another 5 lbs or so?
